When its time to take out their credit cards then they backtrack
And to be fair, even if I am trying to be super-honest, I find it very hard to decide whether I would be happy to whip out a credit card from a concept pitch. It's not just a question of "would I pay for A", it is a question of "would I pay for A it it really rang my bell", and I can't tell whether you are going to ring my bell or not until I have tried your product and your customer support philosophy.
When I look at my credit card statement, I see a bunch of companies not just whose product I like and use, but also a bunch of folks for whom I can say "I like the way they do business".
I didn't pay to cloud-store photos for over a decade, until I found smugmug. So what is the right answer to the question "would you pay to store photos"?
This isn't the kind of nuance you would get from an MT survey I don't think.
